WinRescue XP 1.08.41

Windows XP Won't Start?
Run WinRescue in Safe Mode, run the DOS version of WinRescue in another operating system (like, DOS or another Windows), or use the WinRescue bootup diskette to restore the Registry from outside of Windows.
Did a Program Mess up Windows?
WinRescue makes snapshots of Windows. If you install a program that messes up Windows, just use the Crash Fixer to restore Windows to the way it was before.

FIVEfold Protection
WinRescue has five ways to restore:
to WinXP Restore Points,
to Spare Registry,
to WinRescue Backups,
from Diskette, CD, or Removable Drive,
or to the Original Registry.
Please note that the registry may only be backed up and restored by the Administrator.

RegPack the Registry
Removes the mush and rebuilds the Registry decreasing the size of the Registry and allowing Windows to run more effieciently.

Windows Troubleshooters
Troubleshooters can help you track down problems in Windows. The following troubleshooters can be run from the Help tab of WinRescue.
Display,
Drives and Network Adapters,
DVD,
E-mail,
Games and Multimedia,
Hardware,
Home Networking,
Input Devices,
Internet Connection Sharing,
Internet Explorer,
Modem,
Printing,
Safe Mode,
Sharing (Files and Printers),
Sound,
Startup and Shutdown,
System Setup,
USB, and
Video Display.

Start Protecting your Data with WinRescue Now
Now is the time to start backing up your data. You never know when something will happen that could wipe everything out. Be ready with WinRescue. WinRescue can be set up to run automatically. It can run minimized so that you can go on with your business.
It is a good idea to back up to another drive. WinRescue will back up to harddrive, diskette, CD, DVD, DDCD, Zip Drive, Network Drive, and any device that can be copied to in Windows Explorer.

Backup and Restore Wizards
Wizards provide step-by-step instructions through the backup and restore process.

Open ZIP Files
The Extractor in WinRescue will open zip files and extract files from them.

An Uninstaller
Run Backup before installing an application (especially if you are only trying it out). Then if it messes up your computer or you uninstall it soon afterwards, run WinRescue's Crash Fixer to return your operating system back to the way it was before the application was installed (this will remove the hidden entries that applications often leave in the registry).

Quick Transfer of Files between Computers
With the Backup Properties set on No Compression and Replace, WinRescue will transfer selected folders and files from one computer to another computer on a network (this works good to keep your laptop in sync with your desktop and vice versa).

Five Backup Types

Full Backup backs up all of the specified files.
Incremental Backup only backs up files that have changed since the last Full or Incremental backup. Backed up files will not be backed up again until they change.
Differential Backup only backs up files that have changed since the last Full or Incremental backup. Backed up files will be backed up again on the next Backup.
Replace opens up the Backup File and replaces any of the specified files that are different.
Full (Archive not reset) Backup backs up all of the specified files, but does not reset the Archive attribute (this is for programs like Quicken which do not like the attributes of their files changed).

Specify Four Different Configs
Use WinRescue's default or create up to four different setups (configs) that decide what happens during Backup. For example, one config could back up the registry to the hard drive, a second config could back up recently changed files to the Zip drive, and a third config could backup other files to a network drive.

Back up Any Files, Directories, or Types of Files that you Want
Selecting files to back up is as easy as clicking a checkbox from the Explorer-type list. Wildcards can be used to specify types of files to back up, such as, *.txt for all text files.

Boot Disk
Creates a special bootup diskette for when you cannot get to the first menu of WinNT. Just insert the bootup diskette and restart the computer. The menu will be displayed that lets you choose operating systems, like, DOS, Win95, or WinXP.

Change Target Directory for Backups
Decide where a Backup Set will be placed. Back up to hard drive, diskette, Zip Drive, Network Drive, CD, DDCD, or DVD.

Number of Backups
WinRescue keeps track of how many backups it has made and automatically deletes excess backups. Choose to allow 1 to 10,000 backups.

Use WinRescue's Defaults.
If you don't know which files to back up, use WinRescue's default selections. The following items are available by default.

Registry Files
Initiation Files
Print Hood
Start Menu
Desktop
Favorites
Application Data
Recent
Net Hood
Send To
IE Cache
Control Panel
Nine Important Files

Automatic Features
At specified intervals (daily, weekly, bimonthly, monthly, or never) WinRescue XP will automatically perform the following operations:
Start WinRescue and Wait
Back up 1st. Config
Back up 2nd. Config
Back up 3rd. Config
Back up 4th. Config

Run any of the above functions at certain times using the Task Scheduler.

Backup Manager
The Backup Manager tells where Backup Sets are located and easily deletes, renames, and adds them.

Verifies Backups
If you choose, after a backup is made WinRescue will go back and checks the integrity of the backup to make sure that it is good.

DOS Version
WinRescue XP comes with a DOS version, just in case you cannot get into WindowsXP. The DOS version will restore WindowsXP outside of WindowsXP from the spare registry, WinRescue backups, or the repair registry. The DOS version will not work when WinXP is installed on a NTFS partition.

Compress Backup Files
Choose the Compression Ratio of Backups. Choose from:
Do Not Compress
Low/Fast Compression
Medium Compression
High/Slow Compression
Higher/Slower Compression
Highest/Slowest Compression

Use the Extractor to restore individual files
The Extractor opens WinRescue backup files, displays the enclosed files, and allows the user to choose which files to restore. Restore to original location, temporary directory, or to specified location.

PKZip Backups
Backup Sets that are compressed are PKZip compatible. So if you don't want to use WinRescue XP to restore you can use WinZip or pkunzip.exe.

Vistapack 2.3 for Windows XP and Windows 2000

The Vistapack comes with a nice installer, that does all the work that normally one would do by hand with a resource editor. It use reshacker, the best for scripting resource tasks.
The installer takes a sample of the file that has to be modified, and backs it up.
Then it changes all the resources in the original file, those that are needed for the Vista look.
When that's done, it places it back into the system, and will reboot for the changes to take effect. That's how it works in short terms. But, it has some other advantages. Like the Reloader. This little sub-program, runs on Windows start and checks if any files are changed. This can happen if you got a update from Microsoft, or have visited the Windows Update site. When it spots a changed file, it will "Reload" that file with the Vista resources again. So on your next reboot, that file is Vista style again. Good way of keeping your system in the Vista look and feel.

Currently, there are about 240 separate files that get modified by this pack, its one of the most extensive ones out there. The pack comes with some nice extra's, like 32bit icon support on Windows 2000!
Vista sound and cursor schemes, custom boot screen, and its own wallpaper.
There is more, but that's for you to see.

Please note that this pack includes some third party software to enable 32bit icon support for 2000...

Changelog Windos 2000 Edition:
Nothing new in the resources department, but a whole new patcher made from scratch!
Finally found a way to integrate the images used in the Gui, in the patcher itself.
Added a lot of bitmaps, they replace the green ones.
Hopefully the file open & save dialog is better now.
Some minor code clean up and fixes...
Added some more info in the helpfile.
Fixed the purple background on the battery notification.
Finally figured out how to patch the target system unattended, now when installing the pack silent it will patch the system without user interaction for the unattended freaks among us!!
Do take care, it installs all extra's too...

Tclock3 will now install with a startup shortcut its executed on windows startup with the right
ini file determined by system language. Please note that if you have a italian or a unsupported language version, it will crash explorer!!!

What's New in Vistapack 2.3 - XP version

These Antivirus Scanner can not scan inside the packed file. A Product fault by some Antivirus Programs. Changing to a better AV Security Solution will fix it.

Sandboxie - Trust No Program!
http://www.sandboxie.com

Tired of dealing with rogue software, spyware and malware?
Tired of spending countless hours removing unsolicited software?
Try Sandboxie.
When you run a program on your computer, data flows from the hard disk to the program via read operations. The data is then processed and displayed, and finally flows back from the program to the hard disk via write operations. For example, if you run the Freecell program to play a game, it starts by reading the previously recorded statistics, displaying and altering them as you play the game, and finally writing them back to disk for future reference.
Sandboxie changes the rules such that write operations do not make it back to your hard disk. Protecting your Freecell statistics using Sandboxie may be a good idea when a less qualified player comes along, but you will probably want to play most of your games outside the sandbox. On the other hand, you may want to run your Web browser inside the sandbox most of the time. This way any incoming, unsolicited software (spyware, malware and the like) that you download, is trapped in the sandbox. Changes made to your list of Favorites or Bookmarks, hijacking of your preferred start page, new and unwanted icons on your desktop -- all these, and more, are trapped in and bound to the sandbox. You could also try a new toolbar add-on, browser extension or just about any kind of software. If you don't like it, you throw away the sandbox, and start again with a fresh sandbox. On the other hand, if you do like the new piece of software, you can re-install it outside the sandbox so it becomes a permanent part of your system. Sandboxie intercepts changes to both your files and registry settings, making it virtually impossible for any software to reach outside the sandbox. Sandboxie traps cached browser items into the sandbox as a by-product of normal operation, so when you throw away the sandbox, all the history records and other side-effects of your browsing disappear as well.
Sandboxie is free so you really don't have to look around for an alternative.

However, if you still don't like or can't use Sandboxie for whatever reason, here are some alternatives.
Anti-Virus Software, Anti-Spyware Tools
These tools scan your computer files and registry settings looking for known viruses and unsolicited software (spyware). Such tools can only remove some viruses and spyware but also produce a lot of false positive alerts. They can be wrong or right or not identify, and usually only after that software has made its way into your computer. Contrast this with the Sandboxie approach, which keeps the viruses and spyware trapped in the sandbox, and makes them disappear when you throw away the sandbox.
Untrusted Browsing
The ActiveX mechanism lets Web sites run little programs in your computer. These are mostly well-natured programs, for example automatic download managers or automatic toolbar installation. Some not-so-well-natured Web sites use this mechanism to install spyware into your computer. You could browse with ActiveX disabled (by turning it off, or by switching to a browser that doesn't offer support for ActiveX), but you would be trading security over functionality. With Sandboxie, you can keep ActiveX turned on, and have both security and functionality.

Sandboxie.v3.22 32bit (393.31 KB) - Sandboxie.v3.22 32bit+64bit (707.37 KB)

A Trojan makes online connections out and incoming. A good Firewall in extension to a NAT tells you not only a short overview of these connections. The full trace log with details for example by browsing the web, not just the domains, DNS, Ip's but the full url's to and from destinations up to the file extensions by request in the internet online traffic. With a connection monitor it shows you if something is wrong on all protocols. It will alert you if a component from your hard disk starts to make or receive connections and you can tracing the ways, set the access control, terminate single connections, add them to your own black list, forbid applications to go online. For example if a picture program go online its suspicious it have no messenger, email or web browser except it have picture upload function to your ftp website in the menu. If a program begins to do online update you can capture the url and download the update file if you want an update manual. Also you can block online updates.

Remark: VirtualProtect

YZPack 2.0 beta (c) UsAr


A Packer for executables and dll's
using compression libs: aplib / lzma

Age: ~ 1Year

Here is a finished gavno packer, pushes (compression) a bit better than v2.0 fsg
yzpack.2b.aplib

But unlike older versions yzpack.v1.2.aplib and yzpack.v1.2.lzma not handled DLL

For VirusScanner which do not recognize it and can not scan inside it. It is listed by random Virus names, given by the AV scanner product.

I found it by search in the net thanks the Virus Lexicon from Ikarus which shows that this scanner can not handle and recognize the files packed with YZPack as Virus:

Packer.YZPack.A - I guess .A stands for one compression lib used, maybe aplib
Packer.YZPack.B - Maybe B if lzma compressions library is used

Rem: Most packers by AV scanners in Product line 2008 can still not many 3 - 8 years old and older exe packers unpack and several different executable compression layers check for the actual executable inside.
These AV's shown all packed files as virus.

About Virus security forums out there I have no words, just wondering if they don't know anything and can't spend a single word in 1000-3500 plus discussion posts about compression, about pe file construction... how can they say what is right and what is wrong or advice anything. Of course the AV witch shows most viruses, if its false positive or not get the highest ranking.

In my meaning a possible false positive by the AV scan engine caused of missing examination / unpacking features for this and that files can not tell the user it is virus name xyz but should tell the truth, that the file can not get properly inspected / ident. User choice quarantine, delete, access permit, skip on own risk. + maybe send file run in sandbox.

Pack random files with it. Test AV scanners if they can scan inside the packed files or shown the packer by any given names as virus, which will mean the AV engine can not examine the packed file inside and for security reason show it as virus.

As Homepage I found so quick only: http://usar.pp.ru/blog/?p=21

Without manual unpacking possible: http://ap0x.jezgra.net/RL!dePacker.rar can unpack it.

It turns nervous AntiVirus scanner. A terribly dislike when the AV sees Section UPX0, UPX1, UPX2 with surprise and finds out that it does not upx. Not a offense but another hit to push AV products to get them engines up to date and do not fake scan results by showing false positive if they are unable to scan it.
If it's not false positive, please correct me after you have reverse it sandbox it and DIAG ...

I like packers to make files even smaller, I hate Viruses, I hate Trojans, I hate false positive and lazy marketing orientated AV Products which tells more wrong as right and report packer as Viruses. Get ollydbg or any debugger, reverse it to its substance, bit by bit before put whole packers as viruses to the database updates. This should be the daily job by every AntiVirus Firm but it isn's. Submit a suspicious file and they add it as a virus without testing it enough.

If you look to the top 10 Viruses by BitDefender, Virus: Password-Protected is on place 3, maybe cause of missing examination which is always the same zip password by some popular 'All-in-One creating tools'.

Read about executable - packers / pe file format before you think a Packer is a Virus just because some bad guys have a trojan packed with a packer into files or AntiVirus Program can not scan inside a compressed file like in old times! It's the same as put trojans in a zip archive and PKzip by name get listed to be a Virus.

Zitat from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EXE_packer: "Also, some older virus scanners simply report all compressed executables as viruses because the decompressor stubs share some characteristics with those. Most modern virus scanners can unpack several different executable compression layers to check the actual executable inside."

We have to do with brand new virus scanners but they simply report all possible compressed files as viruses up to date. See: http://lexikon.ikarus.at/cgi-bin/lexikon.pl?lang=de&search_next=1500&search_letter=p
also BitDefender - secure you every bit and many more: sample XComp http://virscan.org/report/
According to Wikipedia thouse Antivirus programs are just good enough to trash because they can not unpack and scan inside an exe file if its compressed. Money back is granted if have obtained the wrong AV
AntiVirus Scanner from:
Microsoft Engine Version 1.3204
McAfee Engine Version 5.2.00
seems to can scan inside all possible packed PE Files. Test it by self and use as virus listed packers (XComp / FSG / PEX / MEW SE and MEW 5 / the old Upack Packer.byDwing and so on...) to compress/pack some files.
